Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Exceptionally fresh, green, and aquatic, this fragrance blossoms in spring and is equally at home on mild summer days, but its lightness struggles to cut through autumn chill or winter cold.
Best Occasions
Its clean, gentle projection and breezy freshness make it perfect for casual wear, office environments, and active situations, though it lacks the opulence or intensity for formal events.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
